  49 "wx.ConfigBase class defines the basic interface of all config
  50 classes. It can not be used by itself (it is an abstract base
  51 class) and you will always use one of its derivations: wx.Config
  52 or wx.FileConfig.
  53
  54 wx.ConfigBase organizes the items in a tree-like structure,
  55 modeled after the Unix/Dos filesystem. There are groups that act
  56 like directories and entries, key/value pairs that act like
  57 files.  There is always one current group given by the current
  58 path.  As in the file system case, to specify a key in the config
  59 class you must use a path to it.  Config classes also support the
  60 notion of the current group, which makes it possible to use
  61 relative paths.
  62
  63 Keys are pairs \"key_name = value\" where value may be of string,
  64 integer floating point or boolean, you can not store binary data
  65 without first encoding it as a string.  For performance reasons
  66 items should be kept small, no more than a couple kilobytes.
